About John Sullivan

We moved to the Cedar area in 1989 from Ann Arbor, and pursued careers as glass artists (now retired). We both love Leelanau County for its natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle.

John Sullivan purchased this farmhouse in 2009

Why John Sullivan chose Northwest

This was a natural for us since this rental is only a few miles from our house making any maintenance and/or repair quite easy. This central location in The County is a plus for vacationers and tourists, as any destination is just a few minutes away.

What makes this farmhouse unique

Very low traffic rural area, yet close to all the attractions of the County. Pet friendly, and close to a dog-friendly beach. The owners/caretakers live near-by in case of any unforeseen issues.

Guestbook comments from the owner

...your home worked perfectly for (us), and was within close proximity to all the fun sites in Leelanau County. The house is beautiful, and we really enjoyed our stay here. Thanks again.

The house was very clean, beautifully landscaped and six minutes from the wedding venue.

John, the owner, was very good at communicating with me. The house is in a beautiful rural location and was beautifully landscaped. Almost anything you need is available. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning downstairs and in the master bedroom made the house very comfortable. If I am ever in the Traverse City area again, I would be glad to reserve the property again. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay.

We've stayed here multiple times in June and it's always been a great vaca!

Well stocked, clean, comfortable and quiet. Perfect for our kids because we don't have to concern ourselves with them making noise. Plenty of room to run and play. The location in Cedar is minites from everything the peninsula has to offer. Small beach at the end of the road is great for little ones and doesn't take a big production to get there and set up because it so close. Beach chairs are provided and we love that since is lessens our haul. We leave them in our minivan for the trip and pull them out at numerous stops. Thanks, John!

Harmony House...what a great find!

The perfect relaxed setting to stay while attending a family wedding in the area. The house was so comfortable and well equipped, we really felt at home. The homeowner could not have been nicer or more accomodating. Definitely made our family vacation that much more enjoyable. Beautiful area with tons of things to do. Highly recommend!

Perfect Home Close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Lake Michigan

This was the first time our family of 5 had traveled to Northern Michigan, and this home was the perfect place to use as our home base. The home is clean, well-maintained and well-stocked with the necessities in the kitchen and in the bathrooms. The family room was perfect to relax in, and we loved the decks on both the lower and upper floors. The setting is quiet and beautiful, close enough for an easy drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and to Lake Michigan. The owner was very easy to contact and responded to our questions quickly and thoroughly. We definitely hope to return sometime soon!

Perfect home!

This property was perfect for us because we were in town to attend a wedding not far away. Our family loved the house and property , very peaceful and quiet place hidden in the country. Yard was beautiful , home was spotless and all amenities were there. Owner could not have been more honest and helpful and treated us like family! The whole setting couldn't have been better! Thank you John.
